  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    7.5” gauge Challenger

    Absolutely beautiful work...... My scatter gun approach to projects will never allow me to complete something that big especially with the attention to detail.

    I thought this was neat

    This fellow is from the lower mainland here in BC...... His channel is well worth watching if restoring old cars is your thing and you enjoy making your own tools.

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    Our 2002 is also pretty much rust free, and don't get me started on the electrical gremlins ..... The turbo let loose the last time I had it out, the motor itself survived the event, so I guess I will be back under the hood again soon enough. :rolleyes:

    Tips/Techniques Making the Square Drive hole in a custom socket.

    It's those moments spent with a grandfather that shapes the future of the kids. I know that the time spent with mine greatly forged my future and taught me that if another man could do it, there's no real reason that I can't. That was a life lesson that each of them will carry for the rest of...
